Create thematic maps and integrate them into your R workflow.
This package helps you design different cartographic representations
such as proportional symbols, choropleths, or typology maps.
It also provides several functions for displaying layout elements that
enhance the graphical presentation of maps (e.g., scale bar, north
arrow, title, labels).
mapsf maps sf objects on base graphics.
You can install the released version of mapsf from
CRAN with:
install.packages("mapsf")Alternatively, you can install the development version of mapsf from
GitHub (dev branch) with:
remotes::install_github("riatelab/mapsf", ref = "dev")This is a basic example which shows how to create a map with mapsf.
library(mapsf)
# Import the sample dataset
mtq <- mf_get_mtq()
# Plot the base map
mf_map(x = mtq)
# Plot proportional symbols
mf_map(x = mtq, var = "POP", type = "prop", leg_pos = "topright")
# Plot a map layout
mf_layout(
title = "Population in Martinique",
credits = "T. Giraud; Sources: INSEE & IGN, 2018"
